This module explores ocean acoustics, focusing on the propagation and detection of sound in the marine environment. Sound propagation strongly depends on refraction caused by variations in sound speed, and reflection off the seafloor and sea surface. Detection of sound subsequently depends on its propagation path, background noise from human and natural sources, and the sensors used for detection.

Very difficult and my personal opinion all knowledge very interesting.

the lesson is very educative and has the ability to increase the knowledge based of students

This is an excellent course. It will definitely help me to better teach this subject to my students.

It was long.

I don't have a background in acoustics. For an introduction course, I found it to be very overwhelming. There are just SO many aspects to it. I think that refraction in comparison to sound velocity profiles and gradients needs to be explained more.

A Great "Introduction to Ocean Acoustics"

I took this quiz to compare it with the exam offered on Navy E-Learning's "Acoustics and Sound Ray Theory" course. I scored almost identical grades, and found the key elements to be very similar. Recommend this course if you cannot access the Navy E-Learning courses.

The links to the sound clips for AN do not work/take you to the correct place.
